“ Excellent choice for a fusion-y brunch. Had the octopus salad and the truffle mayo fries. Both were very satisfying. Also recommended - the maracuya mimosa - very potent! One glass was enough. The staff are super friendly. Will be back! ”
“ As you walk in you get a kind and welcoming environment along with service. The environment has a cool and fun athletic to it along with some cute comfy chairs, they also have a nice outdoor patio area. The waitress is kind and brings a smile to your face. Me and my family had the “MENU DEGUSTATION” along with a few drinks. . Starting with the drinks, they are nice, refreshing, bright and layered with love. The bar tender shows attention to detail and makes sure to shower every drink love and affection without fail, the colours and taste are next level bringing a great start to every meal. . Next the food, the taste was amazing, they accommodated my all nut and shellfish allergy without a complaint and with care, everything we had from the soup that was soft and flavourful to the slow cooked meat that was rich and just so delicious words could not express the flavour melting on my tongue. It all had its own unique flavour and taste along with texture that just brought a whole new light to the food. If I could kiss the chef I would. The food opened my eyes to a different way of enjoying Mexican cuisine and put me on a roller coaster of emotions and flavours that made a wonderful meal for me and my family. . Lastly the dessert it was a soft and creamy dessert that was executed with care. . Every design and taste brought a new sensation to my mouth and there was no lack of attention to detail, everything had care and love to it. I will be coming back and I do recommend that if you have or haven’t been you come and try (or come back). [don’t bring your pets inside please] ”
“ ASK FOR ANAEL!!! Best brunch we’ve had in Montreal! We didn’t have a reservation and sat at the bar and had 10/10 service. The staff was so kind and so gorgeous and the food? WHEW! So damn good. Bottomless mimosas for 30?!? Say. Less. We drank! We laughed! We ate so much. I had— THE BENDIOUS FATHERS “Hash brown” with panko-crusted pork belly and cardamom, chimichurri, chimichurri cream, fried mushrooms, perfect eggs and chicharron 10/10 excellent portion, SUPER flavorful He had the chicken sandwich, aka: QUEBEC CHICKEN CEMITA Our take on the traditional poblana cemita: Panko-crusted fried chicken sandwich served in a handmade cemita from Carlota's Bakery, topped with chipotle mayo, fresh cheddar cheese, capocollo, watercress, and avocado spread. Served with fries and chipotle mayo. 8/10 - slightly dry but super good homemade bun and aioli! Overall, sit at the bar. It’s the best & ask for the poblano mango situation as a mimosa. ”
“ Oh. My. Goodness. Decadent! Super fun and yummy food. Great service (and so friendly!). Thank you Anna and Fabio! Drinks are eclectic. Good music and cute ambiance. Great birthday celebration! ”
“ Thoroughly enjoyed the food! Loved the Mexican ingredients. It’s a good break from all the eggs Benedicts that every other brunch place serves. The flavour combinations were soo good! Love the use of texture by adding crunchy and soft components in the dishes. Would definitely go back! ”
